Default Re: Fertility after fibroid treatment

Thanks!
lol, my pregnancy has been anything but textbook! Glad yours was easy though! I suffered servere hyperemesis, and was hospitalized several times throughout this pregnancy. I have actually been diaganosed with fibroids since about age 18 ( I'm 24) but didn't have any real problems from them until pregancy. I imagine that they were probably much smaller before pregnancy, but since they were not measured until the beginning of this pregnancy, I'm not sure. But my fiboids did grow during my pregnancy, so I won't be able to deliver vaginally. However they have had no ill effects on the baby at all. He's perfect. I recently met with a radiologist who spoke to me about treatment after baby, since I at least wanna have 1 more. But I'm a little bothered by what he sugggested, embolization, as he explained that doing so may lead to infertility, or complcations. As much as I don't wanna go through another hard pregnancy, I'd rather be able to at least know that I have the ability to conceive and carry a pregnancy to term. In your opinion is it better to remove than to embolize? I'm just not sure where to go from here and know that I cannot wait to make a decision if I in fact do hope to have another baby in the future.
